Planar PX2611W 26-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor Review

Making a splash is Planar (PLAY-nar) with the very competitive PX2611W - a 26 inch widescreen LCD monitor that is ideal for most PC use including web, photography work as well as gaming. It features a native resolution of 1920 x 1200 WUXGA with 8 bits of color per pixel (as opposed to six), has two video input ports - Digital DVI-D with HDCP and analog VGA, a wide color gamut, and is using the same internal LCD panel as the high-end NEC 2690WUXi, yet currently sells for $500-$600 less. It retails for $999.

..The Planar 26" PX2611W is a great all-purpose widescreen monitor that delivers an incredible image. It delivers a great value, considering what you are getting, a 26" S-IPS LCD monitor. A three year warranty makes it a more comfortable buy too. Computers and video equipment are increasingly capable of pushing out great color at high resolutions and this display can handle that in stride. The fact that it is great for PC gaming pushes this display over-the-top and into the ’superb for just about anything’ category.
